What I also found valuable in the product is that since it's on cloud, you can work with it from any place.""In general, functionality is fine.""Since it is an integrated solution, it brings speed and efficiency to the business process.""We haven't had a single issue with stability, and we've been using it for more than three years.""Robust and very dependable.""In terms of ERP, it's a good product.

Cons
"In the next release, I would like to see a new recruitments module. I would like to see the preboarding so that it sends out integrations through personal email. That would be very useful.""Once we are done working on a template, we can't change it unless we create a new one.""We have received some unfavorable feedback regarding Oracle HCM Cloud's performance. This has led us to investigate alternative solutions. In my own experience, I have struggled with the slowness of the cloud assessment and the overwhelming complexity of the software's robust architecture. I have reservations about sharing any positive experiences I may have had with the solution.""I would like to see improvements in the user experience, specifically reducing the number of clicks required to achieve desired outcomes. Additionally, enhancing the look and feel of the front end and allowing for a greater level of configuration would be beneficial. Its pricing should be less.""The product needs to keep improving the integration tools and the tools to load the data - that whole mechanism - in order to allow for flexibility in the configuration.""Although the performance management is good, it could be improved as its functionality is quite basic.""The solutions could improve by having better performance. There are times when we have experienced some delays. The reports could be quicker.""The interface could be more user friendly."

More Oracle HCM Cloud Cons →

"I would like to see better support, bug fixing, and documentation.""In my opinion, it needs more performance, maybe something technical related, because it's very slow for us and even small activities take a while.""I would like to see a better UI.""PeopleSoft could improve by being more user-friendly. It's somewhat awkward to navigate.""Scalability is not there in PeopleSoft. Its performance and resilience are also very bad. When you're trying to stretch it, it breaks. It is not resilient. It is also not stable. It is stable as far as data is concerned, but the infrastructure is not stable.""One aspect where PeopleSoft could see improvement is in its level of customization.""PeopleSoft should be more flexible with the configuration. There should be less coding and more configuration.""Having applications which provide more enhanced features and user-friendly elements."
